Would Won believe il? I mas Ger
tainly in course been away up
vandert to Atamaiau.er,thc awtulest
hig town Ise ever seed. Brother
Manuel and his wife, EmiIine,
went tso; you can't guess how we
enjoyed them cars and tie Zig tin
thing full Of lie water. Emclinc
Just kept Manuel ietclin Us water
all the time, I kucwed in reason he
was tired and ashamed Of US too,
but long IS he didn't say nothin We
didn't care, but he don't wait on
folks that'er way at home, no he
don't-if he thinks anything is got
to be did by lin, be ups and leaves
plumb out Of sight.
Nothing lapensd to Us on the
way as l knows Of to interest you,
but when we got there, all tired
and sleepy, We SOON got awake it
seemed to ne all the felix's IN the
place was at tie depot, and all of
Nem had come there to see US, from
the way they holiared, about want
ing our brqgige. I told them l
wanted it too, and spectcd to keep
it, as l fetched it all the way from
home. Manuel made as if he was
mighty wise. poared to me Ike he
as smarter than he ever was in bis
life, for he knowcd exactly where
to 90, he lowed it was best for us
to 90 70 Miss Kinball's house as it
was TIE biggest, finest and lie
knowed we would get nice vittles
at her table. So in we went, but
we had to tell them who We was,
and put it all down in they Big
book that's 50 nice I think, don't
you? Manuel sailed he alters done
that way. 50 it must be right. En-
cline wasn't well much, she didn't
have much to say, but she let out
when we found we had to 90 up in
the top of the house to sleep
They told US to step in, and we
obeved, and bless your soul, Mr.
Editor, we was a gwine way W
yander in one Of them things you
call Regulator or some SIGH name
they drawed up all Of US at one
time, but Emeliue she WAS skeercC
purity nigh too death, said if Mis-.
Kimball let her stove room ketel
on fire that night she never worll
git home agin, for we was too higl
up to jump, it is mighty nea
heaven when you get up in tina
high house. l was pleased at al
the purity things, but Miss Kimbal
didn't treat US quite right, sh'
never comea-nigh US nary time
but the way she makes them mig
ger waters fly round is a cautio
to lazy folks.
Ever thiag is mighty NICE II
there, vittles was good just lik
Manuel said they would be, bu
Emeline shifted up her nose at tn
eggs, said they was tried in taller
but I was hongry, and had abor
eat mine up, and didn't taste tn
taller til she found it out, she
mighty quick to find out thing
She learnt me to be watchful abot
my eatiu, 50 next time I'll fin
out something and tell her abol
it. Manuel was quiet and ct sou
Of everything they fetched him,
spose that is right else he would1
done it.
You are tired, 50 III just no
